The best trekking experience of a lifetime - conquering Kilimanjaro!

I always dreamed of conquering Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, and the team has been a great partner in fulfilling this dream. I chose the Machame Route because it's a little more challenging but offers a lot of beautiful scenery. The sunsets of Shira and walking through the mist of the Barranco Wall - all in one word, it was a wonderful experience. Guides and porters were always on hand; they handled everything from the pitch of the tent to the cooking of the food perfectly. I'm grateful to this team.

Serengeti Kilimanjaro trip

In May, I took some days off work for vacation in Arusha, Tanzania with Habari adventures. Entry point was Kilimanjaro airport before a visit to Serengeti and Kilimanjaro summit. On our way to Serengeti/Kilimanjaro, the Habari guides felt like old friends. We shared a lot of stories, including local legends which I really enjoyed. I had a superb safari, with well organised tour guides. The journey was tiresome, but the team was always present and very supportive. Every tiresome safari (adventure) was compensated with delicious meals and snacks. Thank you Habari adventures for this wonderful experience. I will surely come back.

Kilimanjaro Summit with my daughter

Together with my daughter, I climbed Kilimanjaro via the Machame Route at the beginning of June 2025 – and what an unforgettable adventure it turned out to be! From the very first contact, the tour operators inspired confidence: excellent communication, clear information, and a warm welcome upon arrival. Our team of guides, porters, and cooks was exceptionally professional, friendly, and dedicated. They not only ensured our safety but also created a fantastic atmosphere throughout the entire climb. The route itself was breathtakingly beautiful. Every day brought new landscapes – from lush rainforest to alpine desert, and finally reaching the summit: a snow-covered Uhuru Peak. The guidance from our guides was invaluable; they constantly monitored our health and acclimatization and kept us motivated during the toughest moments. Thanks to their support, my daughter and I ultimately stood on the summit of Kilimanjaro – an emotional and proud moment that we will both cherish forever. The organization of meals, camp setup, and daily planning was impeccable. It’s incredible how much comfort the team was able to provide, even at high altitude. I wholeheartedly recommend these guys to anyone who wants to take on this special challenge. The combination of professional leadership and warm, personal attention makes all the difference. Thank you, team, for an experience that we – as father and daughter – will never forget!

Unforgettable 7-Day Machame Route Trek – Safe, Supportive, and Exceptionally Organized

We recently completed the 7-day Machame Route trek to Mount Kilimanjaro, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience—made even more remarkable by the company’s exceptional focus on safety and professionalism. From the very first briefing to the final descent, every detail was handled with care. The team made safety a top priority throughout the entire journey. Our guides were experienced, attentive, and well-trained in high-altitude care. They conducted daily health checks, including oxygen level monitoring and regular assessments to ensure we were acclimatizing properly. The 7-day Machame Route itself offers an excellent acclimatization profile, and the team managed the pace perfectly with their steady “pole pole” approach. Their guidance made summit night both safe and successful for our group. The support crew—porters, cooks, and camp staff—went above and beyond. Camps were always ready on time, meals were nutritious and energizing, and clean drinking water was always available. Hygiene was clearly a priority, and that made a big difference in our comfort and confidence on the mountain. Summiting Uhuru Peak was an emotional and proud moment, and we owe so much of our success to the careful preparation, encouragement, and safety-first approach of the team. If you're planning to climb Kilimanjaro and want an operator that combines experience, care, and genuine passion for what they do, we wholeheartedly recommend. Their commitment to your safety and enjoyment ensures that your adventure will be both memorable and meaningful.
